Oops! I meant, you should whisk in the
flour before adding the potatoes, not
*after*. Here I am writing about a typo,
and I make one myself. :-P

The Preparation section is mixed up - be sure to read it very carefully. It reads, "Add potato and reserved clam juice and bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk and bring to boil. Whisk in flour mixture. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk and bring to boil. Whisk in flour mixture..."
I would think you should whisk in the flour mix before adding the potatoes, not before. :) I am also confused by the directions to whisk at the end - isn't this going to be difficult once the potatoes have been added? (Or, are the potatoes supposed to be creamed and blended into the base?).

This was soooo good but I think most folks whom left reviews were not into heavy creamy soups. Which I respect. That being said;- and being from a good southern family- add some whipping cream. However much suits your fancy. Do as one other reviewer said and mix (equally) clam juice, chicken broth and white wine (that white wine really does add complexity). I also added mushrooms because we love them and did a couple of toher outrageous things. If you LOVE salmon and don't want it dried out, then chop it up (raw) into pieces the size of chicken tenderloins and then throw it into the pot. Salmon is so delicate it will cook in an instant. Anyone who likes this or thinks im nuts please let me know.

This was tasty and surprisingly not heavy. I had to use a cup of chicken broth along with 2 cups of clam juice (all I had on hand) and I added some remaining fresh thyme I had around too. Also tossed in some diced celery root along with the potato. Great with crusty sourdough bread!

I was worried that
this wouldn't have
enough flavor after
looking at the
ingredients, but
was pleasantly
surprised. It was
very flavorful and
very easy. I might
add some fresh
tarragon next time
but it really
doesn't need it.
Very very tasty.
